My name is Reyn Beal, Class of 2023, 3-year starting varsity quarterback for the Yorba Linda Mustangs. I am excited to return for my senior season this year.
For your convenience, my relevant accomplishments are summarized below:
I am including Hudl highlights from my Sophomore and Junior seasons as a Varsity starter for your consideration:

I have been blessed to play for Head Coach Jeff Bailey. Despite a historical run-first philosophy, I have broken every single-season and career passing record at Yorba Linda High School, despite the Covid shortened 6 game 2020 season. In 23 total games, I have thrown 53 touchdowns and passed for over 5200 yards, completing 68% of my passes against only 10 interceptions. I have a career QBR of 127. In 2021, I guided my team to a perfect 10-0 regular season, and the first ever Division 2 berth in CIF Southern Section for Yorba Linda High School. We are currently 7-0 in the 2022 regular season.
This is my passion. I have been training to be a quarterback since I was 6 years old under coach Nick Stremick, a former Mater Dei quarterback. Coach Stremick has stressed footwork and taking snaps under center. I am very comfortable with every possible drop, as well as rolling either left or right and throwing on the run. I have played basketball, baseball, and lacrosse, but my love and focus is football. I believe my greatest strengths are my relentless work ethic, my understanding of the game, my ability to read defenses, and my demeanor. I pride myself on my ability to stay calm under pressure. Steve Fryer of the Orange County Register has commented on my ability to stay calm under the most trying circumstances.
I have challenged myself at every level of education. I was enrolled in GATE starting in the third grade, and have taken nothing but honors and AP classes in high school. This year, I am enrolled in 4 AP classes, and currently hold a 4.59 GPA. I am a member of the National Honors Society, the California Scholarship Federation, and a 3-time Scholar Athlete. In my free time, I volunteer at Mary’s Kitchen, preparing meals for homeless folks in North Orange County.
